Labrador Park/Fort Pasir Panjang, former defence battery, nature park and designated reserve area, in the Bukit Merah area, located in the Central Region. Known as Fort Pasir Panjang during colonial times, it was one of 11 coastal artillery forts built by the British in the 19th century to defend Singapore's waters. Fort Pasir Panjang and the Labrador Battery was constructed to defend the western entrance to Keppel Harbour. Once a rocky coastline, land reclamation and development of a seawall has changed its original rugged look. Today Labrador Park, also known as Tanjong Berlayer Beach Park is a historic, leisure and nature park, and 4 of the original gun platforms of the Labrador battery still exist as historic relics.
